Lauren O'Sullivan's life is perfect, thank you very much. She's a successful Law and Urban Planning attorney (graduated from Harvard), she's got great clothes and an impeccable sense of style, a gorgeous apartment with her handsome and also successful husband Austin, and just when she thinks she's about to go on a surprise holiday with him to celebrate their tenth anniversary, he drops a shocking request: he wants a separation. Finding herself alone for the first time in ten years, Lauren has to deal with her mother and (former?) mother-in-law, both of whom prioritize others’ opinions over what Lauren wants, a moral issue at her firm that sets her against Garrett Greenberg, an irritating (and, admittedly, handsome and quite good) attorney from a rival case who looks down on her, and a few secrets from her past that have been haunting her for a long time. Can Lauren and Austin get back from their separation? And after he calls her, will she actually want to? At least Lauren’s got her group of friends to support her, no questions asked.
